As a single, child-less male, I’ve also been accused of being selfish by my peers who are married with children. However, when I prod back, many of these same people have said that one reason to have children was so that the children could look after them as the parents got older. Where I grew up, there was many cases of the youngest child (typically female) staying at home and looking after the senile parents until they died, sacrificing her chance to live, date, travel, get married, etc. When I pointed out that I thought this reason for having children was selfish, things got heated! đ Some people will agree with you, some will disagree with you. Do what you are comfortable with.

However, I asked the same question a while back (see message ID 1216199984510) and got no responses, so I’ll be very curious to see what replies you get… take care John.

If ‘caught’ staring at a stranger in a public place, they might smile to show they’re not some crazy hostile stalker, and then look away. Especially in crowded public places, like subways, when she would likely be feeling defensive anyway, and could easily get scared and hit the panic button if approached. Late at night, for example, I’d rather stand then sit beside a lady travelling by herself on the subway – regardless of whether I think she’s attractive or not – for exactly this reason. I just don’t want her to get spooked. A guy is far more likely to approach an attractive girl on her own in a supermarket or coffee shop at 2 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon than he would the same girl on her own at 8 p.m. on the subway. This happened to me five months ago in a restaurant, a much ‘safer’ environment than the subway. I literally bumped into the most attractive lady I’ve ever seen in my life. I stood dumbfounded, right in front of her, just staring. I might even have had my jaw hanging open, for all I know. I was totally stunned! She calmly just stood there and stared back, with a half smile on her face. This continued, wordless, until our respective friends, who hadn’t noticed this, pushed us each onward and out of sight of each other. It took a few minutes for me to recover my wits, leave my group and return to the restaurant, but she had gone. Why didn’t I say something? To be honest, I don’t think I could have said my own name, never mind start a conversation. Do I regret not saying something? Yes. Daily. Oh, and if it matters, she had milk-chocolate skin, and I have white skin with freckles.
